7zip not recognised by version 17.05 : "Encrypt file names" is SET

Open priyankasabharwal81 opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

I have a encrypted 7zip file. We were using it with Version 9.20.1 ealier and this file was recognised as 7zip . Function CHandler::Open() returned a non S_FALSE value But with latest version 17.05 it returns S_FALSE. It is the same behaviour with version 16.02 as well. Thus failing it to recognise as 7zip.

This is how the 7zip was created.

  1. Create an empty txt file
  2. Right click , 7-zip -> Add to archive -> Archive formet : 7z
  3. Select option : Encrypt file names .
  4. Enter an Encryption password
  5. Press ok

This 7z is not recognised. If you skip step 3 ie: DO NOT TICK " Encrypt file names" , it starts to recognise it as 7zip

Question:

  1. Is this changed on purpose?
  2. Any work around that it starts recognising the files with " Encrypt file names" SET as 7zip ???

Well, all I could advice is try to find which version incorporated the bug, then compare then with diff and try to figure out what caused that.
